Bob Mackie looks great and I enjoy watching him. Does anyone have any idea how old he is?

I'd say he's gotta be pushing 70-80 because Cher is pushing 70, and wasn't he older than her when he began designing for her?

Today is his birthday - he said that at midnight when presenting the TSV.
I'd say mid 60's but I'm sure it's easily found by doing a search on the net.
I found out all sorts of interesting info about him. His son Robin died (of AIDS I think). Although he was married years ago, Mackie is openly gay and has been living with the same guy for years. He's won many awards given by the gay community for being open about it. I found all this on the net as well as his age but I can't remember it right now. I think he's mid-60's.
He does look great, and he's one of my favorite vendors on QVC. He is very kind and classy - and a great talent. Love all the colors he uses.

Thanks for clearing that up, Jatwin--I thought I'd been in a stupor and lost a decade somewhere! What a relief...

March 24, 1940 so he's 65. He also lied at midnight - yesterday was his b-day LOL.

I love when I post any number. It gets people all excited!!! LOL!! It's really no secret how old Cher is, like Hershey said, that info is readily available on the net about the both of them. Geesh!

And Bob Macki is older than 60...

Just love that Bob! Hey, wasn't that a TV show back when with Bob Cummings? Wonder whatever happened to him as I liked him a lot too. Yes, Bob
Mackie surely does look great but he may have had a face lift somewhere along the way. He's kinda tight. But who cares. He has a personality that can't be beat and keeps on going and going. My best to him.
